Ok, so I am tasked to create a real-time activity monitoring system. For this system, I need to write a complicated socket server that does a lot of things. So far I've looked in the internet for several guides but sadly, I don't understand most of them (I'm not very good at networking). So I decided to go look for a free library so I can create the socket server faster and more secure. Finally I found this, http://www.networkcomms.net/.
When I opened the readme file, it has this in the LICENSING part:
No I'm wondering, what does proprietary software means?? Does the company I'm working on required to buy the library?? I'm not writing the program to sell it. I'm writing the program that is for company used and only for company used. Which means that this will be a specialized program and less generic.
Note: I'm using C#.
